What is the history of Healthy-Steps?

The program was developed in 1980 by Sherry (a professional dancer), Marc and Joel gynecological surgeons) Lebed to help their mother, Rita Lebed, have an active life after surviving cancer, but living with lymphedema. The results were so effective that her surgeon at Albert Einstein Center in Philadelphia PA began using the program as therapy (taught by Sherry), and did a study as to the results on his patients. The program grew. Sherry developed cancer in the 1990s, recovered but also suffered from the effects of lymphedema. She used the program and saw vast improvements, started training other instructors to become trainers to help grow the program. Dr. Marc Lebed oversaw the medical use of the program, serving as Medical Director. The program was found effective for all cancers that either surgery or radiation damaged or removed lymph nodes. Then it was found helpful for chronic conditions that were immune system oriented. Since one of those is arthritis, it became used and found helpful with older adults. The program is an international therapeutic program used throughout the English speaking world. The program was sold to BEV, LLC in July of 2014 owned by Bonnie Enyart Vermillion, who was completely trained by Sherry Lebed Davis. The current Medical Director is John MacDonald, MD, FACS.The program was originally named Focus on Healing, then the Lebed Method, and in 2009 was renamed Healthy-Steps, moving you to better health with the Lebed Method.
